Why do Architects Recommend uPVC Windows for Your Home?

From ushering in ample natural light and facilitating proper ventilation to connecting the occupants of a structure to the glorious outdoors, windows are an important aesthetic element of a home.

However, the glass used in designing windows does not exist in a vacuum; it is the frame that brings it all together and imparts this structure its integrity and visual appeal.

Among the many best-selling options in the home design space, one material has won over many hearts despite its youth – uPVC. Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) has become increasingly popular for window frames owing to its durability, versatility, and sustainability.

From the viewpoint of both advanced functionality and aesthetics that wow and mesmerise, uPVC windows have been a choice option among architects and interior designers alike. And now that their fame is reaching far and wide, there’s hardly a homeowner who does not swear by their ‘amazingness.’

Well, but are you among those wondering, “So what’s really all the hype about?” Let’s find out below!

Key Factors Driving the Popularity of uPVC Windows

Low-Maintenance

Getting excited about new uPVC windows is great, but the best part is how easy they are to maintain. These windows require minimal upkeep. You just need a clean dusting cloth, dip it in a solution of baking soda and water or another window-cleaning agent, and gently scrub your windows in and out for a quick shine.

Long Life

uPVC windows' inherent durability grants them a reasonably long life, with an average life expectancy of 20 years. And even during the course of their existence, these windows will not rot, peel, or corrode. Need we say anything more?

Eco-Friendly

A 100% recyclable material, both uPVC and glass in tandem, will help you reduce your carbon footprint. Those who believe that green architecture must be developed at the expense of high design have yet to experience the glory of uPVC windows.

Multi-Point Locking Mechanisms

uPVC windows usually come with multi-point locking mechanisms that make them very difficult to break through. Plus, when used in combination with toughened safety glass, these windows offer 360-degree safety.

Fire Resistant

uPVC also acts as a flame-retardant material and is self-extinguishable. In the event of a fire, these windows help prevent it from spreading through an enclosed space, making them the safest option for your home.

Customisable Designs

uPVC windows can be customised to fit various window shapes and sizes, offering greater design flexibility. They allow homeowners to match their windows with both modern and traditional interiors effortlessly. Plus, the wide range of colours, finishes, and glazing options makes it easy to create a look that feels truly personalised.

Energy-Efficient

uPVC windows have incredible insulation properties. They will keep your home cool in the summer and warm in winter. Because they have strong potential to save energy, they are perfect for both small apartments and large houses. The material's low conductivity, coupled with the tight seal of the windows, allows for double, even triple glazing, making them an excellent choice for energy efficiency.

Noise-proof

uPVC windows use a double-seal system that blocks outside noise and keeps the interior of your home noise-free. Blocking outside noise and limiting indoor noise in your house lets you enjoy complete privacy. This is also a convenient choice, especially if your house is near a busy road or a marketplace, as you can go about your business unhindered by the area's noise and distractions.
